Honey Deuce
"The signature drink of the US Open is the Honey Deuce - a light, refreshing
vodka cocktail with skewered honeydew garnish made to look like a tennis ball. Grey Goose is usually one of the sponsors of the Open, and this is a must-have when you visit Arthur Ashe Stadium. They serve it in a souvenir glass, too!"

Nice and understated; really enjoyed this one! I did use Belvedere vodka in place of the Grey Goose; it is comparable in quality. I also used pink lemonade, as that is what I had on hand. The hint of raspberry liqueur gives a nice undertone. I used Chambord as the raspberry flavor. Delish! Thanks for sharing, JackiOhNo!

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
